Blending out code sections and scroll 2 docs at the same timebrowsing

I’m not sure if these questions have already been asked or if it’s even possible to do.

I’m using notepad++ to translate a text from english to german. The text is in an xml file and each line is embedded in code that is recognized and highlighted be notepad++.

The first question:
Is it possible to blend out the code, so only the plain text is visible? That would help much, especially when copy/pasting a line

The second question:
I can open the original and the translated xml documents at the same time, which is very comfortable. Is it also possible to link them in a way that I can also scroll them together, so the correct lines are always side by side?

Hi Scott, thanks for your answer, but unfortunately this does not help, because the lines are very long and to be able to fully see them I need to have automatic line break enabled. The translated german lines are even longer than the english ones. So a line in english that is wrapped into 3 lines sometimes goes to 4 lines in the german version. So the more I scroll down, the more difference I have. For example when I scoll the german version down to line 1200, the other text is still at line 950. What I need is to have the same line in both texts side by side.
